"I think we have to take more responsibilities with the bat" - Bangladesh's stand-in captain Najmul Hossain Shanto after loss against New Zealand
After the conclusion of the match against New Zealand, Bangladesh's stand-in skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto reflected on the loss, saying:
"We did well with the bat but could have done better. The wicket seemed to be doing well and to me, it seemed to be a decent surface. I think we have to take more responsibilities with the bat in hand. This was a good wicket, and we should have been more careful against the new ball.
On their bowling department, Shanto added:
"Today, all three fast bowlers were impressive for us. Today, every bowler showed their character. If they continue to do this, it will definitely help us going forward. If we bat well in the next game, it will be a completely different ball game."
